    • @entr3_nou5
      @entr3_nou5 4 года назад +113

      Well, “safe” doesn’t mean harmless, it just means easily contained. For example, an SCP can be bloodthirsty but still “safe” because it cannot escape. On the other hand, an SCP can be completely harmless but still be a keter because it can’t be contained. I get what you’re saying though.

    Alexandria Eternal is by far my favorite SCP that I’ve ever read, and it’s pretty baffling that this wasn’t the SCP-001 of its series. And this specific SCP was the reason I got so deeply mesmerized by the universe and possibilities of the SCP world, and I’m sure many share my experience. I feel if an SCP movie is ever made this would have to be one of the subjects or scenes covered during the plot if not a main plot itself. I’ve been waiting for someone to cover this concept properly and I’m glad The Exploring Series did. TES being the most clearest and visually entertaining channel for SCP binging. Some of my favorite stories are the experiments with changing or creating new books of fictitious people like Henry Adams who appeared just to die terribly. Molly the Cataloger and Marvin the Retriever robots that Alexandria Eternal assimilate into the library after Theopolis the Watcher who passes after seeing the sky again and a final duo are finally found to tend to Alexandria Eternal’s books and “appreciate” her for the rest of time. Giving them a book amongst other beings in Alexandria Eternals universe. A truly great piece of literature that could be adapted into its own series with endless possibilities.

    I don’t know why but I love the format in which you go about delving into the lore and make it so uniform. Other scp channels read them off or give off a tryhard-wannabe researcher vibe but this just feels right. I’ve already read watched all of your scp exploring videos and even some of the dungeon and dragons ones but I have to say it’s definitely worth the wait. This is some quality over quantity and I just want you to know your work is appreciated. Btw I only got a add at the end but you should put on in the middle and beginning as well to be able to profit a bit more off these videos. I think you deserve that for this wonderful content you give us

    This series is the best on youtube. I get excited every time I see you add a new video, which is with amazing regularity I might add. They way u compile all the sometime poorly formatted info into one story is the best. Keep up the amazing work!

    I feel like this, alongside 468, has to be my favorite SCP. I have deep respect for history, so an SCP that has a perfect record (well, as perfect as it can be without being edited) makes me happy.
    The idea of the library reminds me a little bit of Palace in the video game Echo. I mean, in the sense that Palace is also alive (though, through AI), is more vast than the eye can see, and is glamorous in appearance. The difference is Palace seeks to kill the player, so...

    Out of all SCPs I know, this is my favourite... Mainly because it doesn't rely on the now overused and pretentious Cosmic and abstract Horror.

    • @choo-choo4269
      @choo-choo4269 5 лет назад +3

      Disagree with this comment. Love all the cosmic horror stuff. But the thing that makes me love this SCP is that this is not another edgy, indestructable "hate everything" SCP, and the whole concept makes me interested in it.

      The Wanderer's Library is another SCP location that is similar. It is actually in another dimension and has much more "protective" librarians. I think the Serpent's Hand video from this channel is the right one to watch for more info.

      The difference is that,that one has all information and you can't alter history with it. Idk why but I find stories with magical libraries so special and intriguing they make me feel curious and [EXPUNGED] and [REDACTED] so many emotions its hard to capture it all in a comment
